I keep seeing people skip the brine weight check on their ferments

I just had a batch of kraut go bad because the salt ratio was off by a few grams, which I only caught after it was too late. It's an easy thing to miss but it can ruin weeks of work. Has anyone found a good digital scale they trust for small measurements like that?

My last batch of pickles taught me that lesson the hard way.

Yeah, paigem45, my first try at pickles looked like a science experiment.

Hard way" is how I learn all my best pickle tricks though.
